Diagnosis. Basal halves of mid and hind femora yellow, distal halves with two black rings. Anterior fifth of thorax orange to reddish brown, balance of thorax black to dark brown.
discussion
Comments. This species is known only from the type locality and one nearby locality in northern Madagascar. The coloration seems unmistakable and this species is easily separated from the only other Malagasy Hybobata.
